For me, quotes are great reminders of how beautiful life is and how others managed to extract the essence of it in so many multiple forms. Sometimes posts cannot be as efficient as a handful of quotes, therefore today I’m letting the essence flow through this blog.

“Our life is shaped by our mind, for we become what we think.” – Buddha

“If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.” – Amit Ray

“We only have now, only this single eternal moment opening and unfolding before us, day and night.” – Jack Kornfield

I used to collect quotes like a fiend! Now, I mostly just try to distill my own quotes from the many quips and queries I answer/posit. Why can’t I quote myself? Granted, my favourite quote is by epicurus, “if it folly for a man to pray to the god for what he had the power to obtain by himself”

They certainly have their place there as by lending voices and words of reputable (or renown) sources, it helps to bolster the validity of the individual’s argument.
I think it’s pretty funny and stupid actually. More often than not, it presents the writer as a hackney wanna-be world influence, whose words hold no sway on their own and so they must piggy back off the words of wisdom (or whatever) coined by someone else.
Since you know, all artists steal their shit. So… yeah. Cheers B-)
